In a stunning overreach, a Biden-appointed federal judge, Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, has issued a tentative ruling that would block Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents from conducting necessary immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles and surrounding counties. The decision, which sides with the far-left ACLU, seeks to prevent ICE and Border Patrol agents from considering factors such as race, Spanish-speaking ability, location, or type of work when making arrests—effectively tying their hands in the fight against illegal immigration.
This ruling comes as liberal activists and the mainstream media continue their relentless attacks on law enforcement, even as ICE agents face hostility during raids like the recent operation at a cannabis farm in Camarillo, California. The judge’s decision, set to be finalized tomorrow, would force agents to have “reasonable suspicion” before making arrests, a vague standard that activists will exploit to shield illegal aliens from deportation.

The ACLU and its allies have accused the Trump administration of conducting so-called “deportation dragnets,” claiming that arrests were based solely on race and skin color. But the Department of Justice has forcefully denied these allegations, stating that all enforcement actions are conducted lawfully, based on intelligence, surveillance, and known patterns of illegal immigrant employment.
“All arrests are in accordance with the law and are based on the totality of the circumstances, including surveillance, intelligence, and locations where illegal immigrants are known to work or be hired,” a Trump administration DOJ official stated.
The liberal media, however, continues to parrot the ACLU’s narrative, ignoring the fact that President Trump’s immigration policies have successfully secured the border, reduced illegal crossings, and removed dangerous criminals from American streets. Instead of applauding these efforts, the left and their activist judges are doing everything in their power to undermine enforcement—putting American communities at risk.
This ruling is just the latest example of judicial activism run amok, with Biden-appointed judges legislating from the bench to advance their open-border agenda. President Trump has repeatedly emphasized the need for strong immigration enforcement to protect American jobs, wages, and public safety. Yet the left would rather side with lawbreakers than support the men and women who keep our nation safe.

As this legal battle unfolds, one thing is clear: the Trump administration will not back down in its mission to uphold the rule of law. While the liberal media and activist judges may try to obstruct justice, the American people stand with President Trump and his unwavering commitment to a secure border.
